The accommodation was perfect, it was beautifully styled and very comfortable, with just walking distance from everything. I think if I was going to suggest a very minor suggestion it would be to have a bigger bin but apart from that it was perfect!

The building is a charming Edinburgh townhouse close to a tram stop, the room and bathroom were beautifully designed and clean. The small touches (cutlery, bowls and fridge, ice bucket) selection of teas and coffees and the luggage room just make it a stand out experience. The pre-arrival information for the recriptikn free experience gives you everything you need to know

A very nice, newly renovated townhouse in a pleasant residential neighborhood. The room was quite small, and has less storage than you'd think (one half of the wardrobe is taken up by the coffee station), but the amenities were very nice. An easy, safe walk to the TRAM. Perfect for a short stay in Edinburgh!

I can’t say enough about my stay at 3 John’s Place. My room and the common areas were beautiful, clean, and modern. The location was perfect with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs close by. Far enough away from the major tourists spots to be quiet but just minutes away from the bus and tram stops to take you anywhere in the city. Will absolutely recommend 3 John’s Place to friends and family and will stay here when I come back.

Amazing stay, the rooms and building is beautiful, lovely underfloor heating in the bathroom. The staff were great with the personal touch as we were staying for a birthday. There is a corner shop nearby, two tram stations a short walk and a cafe opposite. Definitely well worth what you pay

A great place to stay, easy walking distance from the Port of Leith and Edinburgh's St. James Quarter. The check-in process was fully automated and seamless. Our room was well equipped, cosy, and comfortable, and unlike so many places I have stayed in, the shower was top notch. The Nespresso machine and a great supply of coffee was a welcome bonus.

We had an absolutely wonderful time with the Valentine room, it was spacious, comfy, and had all the amenities that we could have asked for and then some. The bathroom was gigantic and easy to use the facilities in there, and staff were super helpful when we didnt know where something was, and kept our towels in fresh supply and kept the room tidy even if we didnt ask. It felt like an overall lovely time, and we definitely want to come back next year if we can!
